We are learning about time and temperature.i would like to learn about converting faren hight to degreas celcius We will look at this next week Hanley.
12 March
Today in maths i learnt that some countries are 24 hrs behind us! The question I asked was to explain what time zones are and give an example from your learning today. Try doing this in your next journal entry please. Mrs Breeds.
W.A.L.T. We are learning about different time zones around the world and how to calculate time differences Time zones are the diferent zones around the world. All the time zones are baced on greenwich meann time (GMT) if you are ahead of gmt on the map then you are ahead in time. But if you are behind on the map your behind in time so that makes us 12hrs ahead of gmt. Much better Hanley! This is an explanation of your learning.
17 March
WALT:we are learning about exchange rates for currency
Today we learnt how exchage rates work for example every nz dollar is 70 cents american This journal entry is very simplistic Hanley - remember to explain how things work/all the learning you have done.
19 March
WALT:we are learning about the difference between celsius abd fahrenheit for temperature
There is the old measurement (fahrenheit) and the new (celsius) 0 degrees celsius is 32 degrees fahrenheit.
To convert cels
ius to fahrenheit you minus 32 then devide by 1.8 Good - you could have given an example of how to use the above formula from your learning today to show it working.
23 March
WALT:use algebraic thinking to solve decimal subtraction problems
eg 4-2.8
+.2
4.2-1 Hanley- I am pleased that you learnt something in Maths today. I would love to know how you feel about this strategy and whether or not you will use it in the future. TC
25 March
WALT:use temperature as a tool to help us with integer problems
eg if you had a pool and the temperature was -2 and you added -2 it would be -4 but if take away -4 it would be +2 Hanley- I am pleased that you are able to do this. I would love to know how you feel about this strategy and whether or not you will use it in the future. TC
31 March
WALT:add not subtract when working on decimal sutraction problems
eg 3.45-_=1.63
to make this easier you make it into an addition problem
eg 1.63+_=3.45
+37=2
2+1.45=3.45
I feel that this is a good strategy for when your subtracting.
20 April
Today in maths I learnt that there are 8-10 problem solving strategies. eg trial and error. You do an accurate guess and check if its correct and if wrong try again So what strategies do you already know and what ones can you see yourself using in our problem solving competitions this year?
I already know how to look for a pattern and i will use trial and error in comps
24 April
Today in maths i learnt how to use a leaf and stem graph and a scatter plot. Hanley this is a good start but I want to know more. What did you learn with this - a scatter plot shows two types of data on one graph - is used for measurement data etc. I need to know in detail what you know, There should also be more frequent entries.
25 April
Discrete data is data that can be counted and stays the same continuis data is measured and can be a range of numbers.
7 May
The past few weeks we have been talking about a statisical investigation and we have been learning the different graphs we can use.
The latest one we have done is the box and wisker graph .
Can you see what I mean about saying what we have done instead of talking about our learning. What do you think is more important? I really want to know what is cahllenging you and what you are finding is starting to make sense.
14 May
This week in maths we have been making our surveys for our statistical investigation. My investigation is about cellphones who has them and what for.
my investigation has questions like whats the main use of your phone how much texts do you send a week.
24 May
today in maths i did my glossery and found out what these are clusteris a group of data in one area. A cluster would usually be found in dot plots outlieris data that is away from the rest of the data trendis a group of statistics that are the same. These are most commonly found in bar graphs. Multivariate datais data that has more than one variables Variableare data that is same topic but different surveying item. meanis all the numbers added up and then divided by the amount of numbers in the series. medianis the middle number, when all the numbers are put in numerical order. modeis the value that is surveyed the most. rangeis when the numbers are put in numerical order and the difference between the lowest and highest numbers. I am not sure what this is Hanley - is this part of your glossary that should be on your wiki learning page.
Hanley I would really like to see you making your journal a priority in the weeks to come. This will be a very important tool for you to use at the 3 way conferences.
